An additional 1,958,871 job contracts
have been recorded between December 2019, right before the Covid
pandemic, and December 2024, according to the Observatory of
social security and pensions agency INPS on the labour market
published on Thursday.
Nearly three-fourths of those contracts were open-ended, said
the report.
The job increase was mainly driven by the construction sector
(371,383 additional contracts from 2019), trade (292,366) and
the hotel and restaurant business with 247,120 additional units
compared to five years before.
These three sectors recorded over 46% of the overall growth,
said the Observatory.
The Observatory also found that an additional 374,613 job
contracts were signed in 2024 in the private sector, with the
exclusion of domestic and farm workers, down from the additional
519,381 units registered the previous year.
The open-ended contracts last year were an additional 314,999
units, slightly down from the 396,502 recorded in 2023.
